That isn&rsquo;t quite what it does. Your connection can stay exactly the same while hardware acceleration changes how efficiently the computer draws pages, plays video, runs visual effects, or handles other graphics-heavy work.</p> <p>The basic idea is straightforward: instead of asking the main processor to do every kind of computation itself, the browser can hand suitable work to hardware designed for that job. On a typical computer, that often means using the graphics processing unit, or GPU.</p>
